Written by Jeanne DestroThis week, we’re talking to tech visionairies who are reviving the rust-belt, by turning aging manufacturing powerhouses, into modern technology hubs—all of course, in hopes of bringing more jobs, and more prosperity to Northeast Ohio.
We’ll also learn about how the federal government has its sights set on possibly breaking up and regulating big tech companies, and how both used car batteries, and food waste can help power our cities.

New @ the Zoo: Akron Welcomes Snow Leopard Cub
Written by Jeanne DestroThere's something new at the Akron Zoo--a Snow Leopard Cub!
The female cub was born on April 29 and is currently in a private cubbing area with mom, Shanti.
Zoo officials say she's healthy, but she does have a congenital eye defect, which is fairly common in Snow Leopards. Once she's older, they'll determine the best course of action--which could include surgery.
This is Shanti’s eighth cub. She previously welcomed two cubs in 2012, two cubs in 2014, and three cubs in 2016 with her previous mate, Roscoe.
This cub’s father is Tai Lung, who is a first-time father.
